Pioneer Hybrid Amplifier Design II

for Audiophile Sound Reproduction (VSX-918V, VSX-818V, VSX-518)

Pioneer Hybrid Amplifier Design II uses a newly selected module, for improved sound quality and total harmonic distortion (THD). The output transistors feature lower base capacitors than the previous model, realising wider range of current drive stage. The module has also decreased in size, and the smaller feedback loop minimises influences from the noise. Parts have been carefully selected, such as the power amplifier capacitors chosen by listening tests, and the pre-amp IC which minimises the signal path in Direct mode.
